MASTERING RENEWABLE & CORPORATE PPAs

ABOUTTHIS COURSE

The global power markets are rapidly evolving and transitioning towards ever-increasing quantities of clean energy - bespoke power purchase agreements allow both IPP power producers and buyers to obtain long-term security to sell and buy renewable energy. For both generators and buyers of renewable energy (including corporates, industrialists and grid operators) power purchase agreements need to really address their individual circumstances and risks.

Buyers want to minimize their exposure to volatility and price rises and this has led to a huge rise in the contracting of so-called ‘Corporate PPA’ and Financial/Virtual PPA. It is a mission-critical agreement and as a result, we have developed a highly specific course that provides deep insights into the analysis, application and negotiation of PPAs, their contractual context and insights from the expert trainer’s deep library and knowledge of the latest best practice.

"I attended the PPA course in London and found it very professional and a beneficial experience."
